About Me

My name is Idanwin ... or rather that is one of the names I go by on the internet.I'm a CSci student who's mainly interested in Artificial Intelligence and Bioinformatics. I am engaged in the Linux and Open Source Software worlds.My System76 Gazp7 runs an Ubuntu/Ubuntu dual-boot (in case I mess one up) and my custom build desktop runs Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Windows. I have tried nearly all major Linux distributions over the years. Some of my favourites are: Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Knoppix, Backtrack, Puppy and DSL. Peppermint and Zorin are two of my showcase distributions (I use them to show how easy Linux can be).I play music. I've played the violin for 14 years now and the piano for 3, but I don't have the time to keep studying at an adequate level.I have played many Multi-platform games throughout my years as a Linux user and these are the most memorable ones:Wesnoth: Wesnoth (v 0.7) was my introduction to Linux gaming and also to modding (v 1.0)Warzone 2100: I have played the campaign many times and it has a really nice and innovative gameplay.Glest: Unfortunately Glest itself is no longer developed/maintained, it has now forked into GAE and MegaGlestSpring: Has never run correctly on my computer, but I have some fond memories of it anyway.Freeciv: A civilisation clone. Really worth trying. I once made a necromancy mod for this game (were you recruited zombies and skeletons in graveyards and you had techs like 'Spellbinding', 'Levitation' and 'Alchemy'.I am a fan of Doctor Who, Dexter and Castle, of Eluveitie, Amon Amarth and Muse, of Terry Pratchet, Neil Gaiman and Ben Goldacre.
